20 tree paintings by women artists

May 9, 2014|Art & Design, Inspiration, Painting

Part one of a two-part series of tree paintings. Today we feature female painters and then on Monday it’s the men. The aim is to show comparative renderings of these spectacular plants by some of the most renowned female artists ever. Although we have numbered them, this is not a rank, just a way to keep order. We have tried to choose artworks where trees are the main subject. Finding twenty by women was as hard as reducing to twenty those by men, of which there are seemingly hundreds available to view online. It’s just not right. Today we put the women first on Plant Curator. Please let us know of others and your favourites.

    Lovely collection! There is something special for me in “Four Trees”. Fantastic lines! I have had a love affair with trees since childhood. They are part of my soul. My paintings and drawings all have trees (or tree-like images) in them. I find it interesting that you had a hard time finding works by women with this theme.

    I’ve been a tree painting for most of my career. I enjoyed this.
